Operation
The MR-VAV-AX has been designed to minimize the total installation, setup, configuration and commissioning costs typically associated with VAV controllers.
Installation costs have been reduced by integrating the actuator, airflow transducer and controller into a single, low profile, plenum-rated package that can be completely mounted and secured with one box screw and two damper shaft screws.
Setup costs have been reduced by the provision of DIP switches that can be set during
installation and before power is applied. For most applications, default parameters will allow the controller to run immediately from startup based on these switch settings.
The MR-VAV-AX is also supplied with an extensive range of pre-engineered and tested control sequences and therefore, no application programming is required. All configuration parameters are pre-installed with the most typical default values. However, they can be overwritten either by an I/STAT, an M/STAT (a portable I/ STAT) or the Operator Station PC. Heating stage setpoints, proportional bands and delays are automatically calculated and set in the controller based on the controller setup selection.
Commissioning costs have been reduced by the use of several automated processes.
Airflow conversion parameters are automatically calculated once the box duct diameter and the manufacturer’s K-factor are entered. By measuring and entering the low and high airflow values for the box, automatic calibration of the installed airflow transducer is then performed. Automatic calibration of the temperature sensor is also initiated once a measured value is entered into the controller.
